Southern Collard Greens
Directions
- 1Wash and clean ham hocks. Add chicken stock to a pot and place over medium high heat. Add diced yellow onion. Cook for 2 1/2 - 3 hours, adding cups of water as stock decreases.
- 2Wash and chop collard greens.
- 3Break ham hocks apart removing only the bones. Add 1 1/4 cup water (only if liquid is low, do not add too much water because greens create liquid). Add chopped greens.
